Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / December 2005Generic Copy paste routine
Is there a generic copyFile API available on mac which can take care of all kinds of FSRefs(network and local) ? FsCopyFile routine in MoreFilesX.cpp seems to be converting FSRefs to FSSpecs first. The routine should be able to work on both OS 10.3 and OS 10.4. TIA > Is there a generic copyFile API available on mac which can take care of > all kinds of FSRefs(network and local) ?

Yes, the source code I linked to works all the way back to OS 9. You'll need to download and include that source code in your project. 10.4 is when this code was wrapped into the Carbon framework. > > Would this work on Panther(10.3) also?? > > Yes, the source code I linked to works all the way back to OS 9. > You'll need to download and include that source code in your project. > > 10.4 is when this code was wrapped into the Carbon framework. Incidentally, FSCopyObject does not work correctly on 10.4 -- it does not copy HSF+ Extended Attributes -- so the correct solution here is to call FSCopyObjectSync from the OS on 10.4 and later, and only use the FSCopyObject sample code on 10.3.

Have you filed a bug report about that? It sounds important. -Eric SignatureEric Albert ejalbert@cs.stanford.edu http://outofcheese.org/ > > > > Would this work on Panther(10.3) also?? > > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > -Eric I believe what Chris was describing is that sample code which has been obviated by 10.4 doesn't work 100% right under 10.4. Not that the addition in 10.4 that obviated the sample code was flawed.

It'd still be good to file a bug report to get the sample code updated. -Eric SignatureEric Albert ejalbert@cs.stanford.edu http://outofcheese.org/ |
